L’Internet of Things it’s a thriving sector in Italy: in 2023 it reached 8.9 billion euros compared to the previous year and at the end of the same year there were 41 million cellular IoT connections.
For this reason they certainly couldn’t miss the CES startup italiane who have exploited this technology to bring innovation to an even higher level, especially in the field of smart manufacturing.
By integrating IoT withIA and the vision technologythese realities have the potential to revolutionize numerous sectors, improving people’s lives and creating a more sustainable world.
